Ep. 588 — Rep. Dan Crenshaw

The Axe Files with David Axelrod

25-07-2024 • 1 hr 9 mins

Crenshaw joined David to talk about losing his mother at a young age, the need for tougher immigration laws, the importance of aiding Ukraine, his disdain for Tucker Carlson, and the importance of voting in primaries.
